such case in the court of claims was not
required to prove loyalty in order to OBJ
tain Judgment in his behalf.
1t will be remembered that there were
several proclsmations in 1868, in 1864 and
in 1865, all Of them conditional procia-
nations, all Of Them excepting classes of
Southern men from their operation. The
supreme court held, in the case referred
to, that all of those embraced within
those proclamatious who had complied
with the conditions of the procl2ma
; ion were entitled to receive
the proceeds Of their property
upon proper proof; and in the case re
ferred to the court decided that after the
general proclamation of amnesty and
pardon, there was no necessity at all to
prove Loyalty in order to set up right
and claim to this funa.
The court held that the money does not
belong to the government OF the United
States; that neither the property nos its
proceeds had been confscated, and that
the government held the fund N trust for
those to whom of right it belonged.
1t will be remembered that this statute
of Limitation commenced to run on August
20, 1866, the day on which the war closed.
Those ct the South especially Who we're
entitled 10 make this claim never filed
their suits, because they did not know
what the effect OF the presidents procla-
nation or prOclamations IN regard to am
nesty and pardon might be; aRd ne result
was that until the decision of the supreme
court in 1869 was promulgated our people
did not know they had 9 standing in court.
Mr.. Reed-Did not know that they
were pardoned?
Mr.. Culberson-Oh, yes; they knew
that; but they did not know that they had
any standing In court under the act of
1868. That Information came too late,
for the statute of limitation had made
bar against their claims. The bar was
complete on the Goth of August, 1868.
Mr.. Long-And the object of this bill
is to let them in?
Mr.. Culberson-Yes, sir; the object of
this bill is to remove the bar and let in
all those who claim an interest in this
fund on account of property taken from
them-to let them come in and make
proof of their claims.
Mr.. Ranney-SimplY to get rid of the
limitation.
Mr.. Culberson-Yes, to get rid of the
statute of limitation.
Mr.. Mills-I wish to ask my colleague
whether this bill provides that these
claimants shall prove that their property
went into the treasury.
Mr.. Culberson-Oh, yes.
Mr.. Miils-Then it does not stop at the
mere taking of the property by the
agents of the government.
Mr.. Culberson-No. The judgments of
this court are to be made according to
the permanent appropriation provision of
section 26S9 of the Revised Statutes.
That provides that the returns of the
proceeds of the sales of captured and
abandoned property shall be paid out en-
the judgment of this court, and I'M
less q claimant can prove that his |
property, seized as he alleges, was sold |
by the treasury agent and the proceeds |
placed in the treasury, he cannot recover |
a cent under this bill; and if he can make !
such proof he can take out Of the treas
urY only as much as the treasury agent
saw proper to put in.

a painful instance of the terrible Conse-
quences of provoking bees is connected
with one of the loveliest sights in India,
the famous marble rocks of Jubbulpore.
These rocks form gorge through which
the great river Nerbudda flows, and the
marble formation extends Tor about a
mile The dazzling walls which shut IN
the river are studded with pendent bees
nests, and for any one to proceed in d
boat down the narrow channel TO disturb
the bees is a fatal proceeding. If any
warning were required it is given by
a tomb which stands on the out
skirts of the village Just shove
the gorge to the memory OF
OF one VINO was stung to death in this
beautiful spot. ACtuated by foolish i'm
pulse, he fred his rife at one Of the nests,
whereupon the bees came down on him in
such numbers that he attempted to save
himself by jumping overheard. The re-
lentless insects, however, still pursued
him, with fatal results. l quote the story
from memory, but believe it is TO be
found in detail in FOrsyth's charming
work, The Highlands of Central India.
ga friend once told me that as he was
driving near village some miles from
Jubbulpore, he and his servant and
horse were attacked by bees
any real provocation.
The enemy crowded round in such
numbers that the situation became Sc
rious. After receiving several stings, land
finding thst the horse, too, became rest
i've, my friend resolved to save his own
life and that of his servant, both of whom
were really in jeopardy, at the risk of
a little discomfort to other people. Ac

cordingly; he whipped up his horse
and made for the village, a cloud
of bees keeping up with the
trap without the least effort. When
the village was reached the bees, as
my friend anticipated, found so many
other objects of interest that they dis
tributed their attentions with less marked
Partially than hitherto. In other words,
the cloud left the trap and scattered among
the villagers, who were, however, so NJ
merous that two or three stings apiece
probably represented the total damage.
The expedient WAS not, perhaps, char
liable one, but in the circumstances was,
l venture to think, justifable."

GLEN ROSE, TEX, Jan. pa mass
meeting, composed of about 800 citizens
from different parts Of the county, met at
the court house to-day to petition the
legislature for relief County Judge A.
J. Hart acted as chairman and r. H.

for was the same asked for by the other
drouth- stricken counties of the srAte. A
committee, composed of X. II. White
head, j. B. Early, l.. S. Mason, j. j.
Farr, j. n. Chandler AMI W. r. Carry,
was appointed to draw up a petition to
the legislature praying for such relief IS
the legislature could grant to relieve the
needy and destitute now in this cOu. ty.
The same was drawn up and signed by
all present and forwarded to w. l.. Nc
Gaughey, representative from this dis
trict. The citizens of this county have
never asked for aid before, and oil were
in hopes that it would not be necessary.
While cedar posts were saleable in John
son and Hill counties, the citizens hauled
them there and exchanged them for corn
and bread stuff, which relieved their
present wants, but finding hat cedar
posts could not be exchanged any more,
the market being glutted, and the drouth
continuing killing out the wheat, the fact
of restitution staring them in the face,
they were finally compelled to do so, and
therefore appealed to the legislature for
aid 10 tide them over until another crop
could be made.

brakes have been on fire for the past two
